Josh Heffington

Reviews:

Incredibly attentive, prompt, and most of all shrewd on the customer’s behalf. They found me the best rate that we’ve seen in a long time even before the fed cut. They got the job done fast on our loan! Josh Heffinton will take care of you!

This was our first time ever purchasing a home and we was lucky to get Josh Heffington. We had so many questions and unknown info about buying a home.  Josh was hands on – we got to meet face to face, not behind a phone or computer screen.  He listened and was spot on with information & step by step through the whole process.  Thanks Josh for being amazing and going above and beyond.  We are grateful and will recommend you time and time again!

We have had the best experience with buying a home our second time around, and I truly believe the ease has came with the knowledge and professionalism from our loan officer, Josh Heffington at First Choice. He is prompt in response, clear in the needs for loan processing, very informative on all the details and avenues you need to know and explore when looking over your options for a mortgage. I would recommend everyone I know who is needing assistance to go see Josh!

5 stars are simply not enough for Josh Heffington! This man has made purchasing a home (not once but twice) the best experience. He is knowledgeable, intelligent, hard working, and dang efficient at what he does! I wouldn’t want to work with or recommend anyone else.

First Choice Lending put me through the easiest home-buying experience I’ve ever had. They are very experienced, and are dedicated to making sure you get the home that you want without a doubt. Cannot wait to work with them again in the future! Thank you Michael, Josh, and Ashley for all of your hard work!

Josh, Michael and Ashley made my dreams come true by working so hard to get my first House so thank you to the team for all your hard work and patience with us!

I rarely write reviews, but my experience with Joshua Heffington at First Choice Lending Services was so extraordinary that I felt compelled to share. From our very first interaction, Joshua Heffington demonstrated unparalleled professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to helping us achieve our dream of buying a house.
Navigating the mortgage process can be daunting, but Joshua Heffington made every step clear and manageable. He was always available to answer questions, no matter how small, and provided us with detailed explanations that made the entire process transparent and less intimidating. Their patience and understanding were remarkable, making us feel valued and supported throughout.
Thanks to Joshua Heffington’s efforts, we closed on our house smoothly and much quicker than anticipated. I wholeheartedly recommend Josh to anyone looking to buy a home.  His incredible service, dedication, and expertise are unparalleled.

Josh Heffington made our first home buying process the easiest thing ever. Extremely friendly, professional and informative, and always available for a call.

JOSH HEFFINGTON … He was the first of many Knoxville professionals we met when we began our move from WI to TN. Personable, friendly, communicative through the complexities of application-underwriting-final approval to closing; Josh set a very high bar for all the other pros to reach! From former Badgers, Thank You Josh!

I have been fortunate to have found First Choice Lending early in my Realtor career. I have 19 years of using them as my main lending. Steve Shelton has always been extremely available and will always take care of any issues, which are very rare. Josh Heffington is my main loan officer. I was very pleased when I attended a meeting last week and a referral I gave him, thanked me and said she was thrilled with them. I was not involved in this transaction. I have NEVER had anything but top of the line service from First Choice. They care and always listen. They are far the best. -Sue

Absolutely amazing experience start to finish. Josh and Ashley were amazing to work with, very organized and efficient. We will be using this company from now on and highly recommend! -Ashley

We worked with Josh Heffington for our most recent refinance. He was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and quick to reply! He had our refinance approved and ready to close in less than 45 days- we are thrilled!
This is the 3rd time we have used FCL for our lending needs. They truly are our first choice when it comes to lending. Time and time again they prove they are the best in the area! -Kelly

I honestly believe me and my family would have been homeless if it had not been for Josh , Hannah, and the whole team at First Choice Lending Service. We faced many obstacles with our loan, but with Josh’s impeccable persistence, knowledge, and helpfulness we were able to tackle every one of them. He did a phenomenal job by going the extra mile to make everything as smooth as possible. I highly recommend First Choice Lending Service to anyone with lending needs. -Tamra

We started the house search what seems like an eternity ago. During the process Josh Heffington was extremely patient, helpful and responsive with my many questions. Once we had an offer accepted and moving into the next steps it was a smooth process because Josh had stayed on top of everything and ensured all information was in order and ready to go. During the final steps Cory Hyberger stepped in and helped coordinate the collection of final information so that closing deadlines were met well in advance. The quick response times of both Josh and Cory to questions or concerns was top notch and very much appreciated. Both were amazing and I would recommend!! -Ace

The man was super friendly and approachable. I was having a horrid time with another lending company when I was recommended josh. Josh was able to do in one week what the other company had done on 5 months. He was always available to answer any questions no matter what time or where he was, and even if my question was dumb or I had asked a hundred times already he was always very patient. He was great with keeping me up to date on where I stood with my closing and he seemed to know everything about USDA loans. The man was super friendly and approachable. Not only would I highly recommend josh to anybody, I already have. In short, josh is the man. -Kevin

We were able to close and have some repair escrow money set aside to take care of … Josh worked with us on a loan for a home that needed some work. We were able to close and have some repair escrow money set aside to take care of some repairs after closing. I didn’t even know such a program existed, but Josh searched and worked very hard to secure our financing. I know we wouldn’t have our home today without his help and two other banks denied us because of the home. -Keith

He honored his quoted rate and did a fantastic job. Josh had helped a friend of mine with a refinance a few months back so decided to give him a try. He honored his quoted rate and did a fantastic job. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking to refinance. -Daniel

After refinancing with Josh at First Choice, I realized that it is very important … Before I refinanced I thought that all mortgage brokers were the same. After refinancing with Josh at First Choice, I realized that it is very important who you choose and I’m glad I went with him. Josh got a quit claim deed taken care of which needed signing and also helped get an old lien removed which neither my original mortgage nor previous refinance was aware of. We were also able to use an alternative title company which had lower closing fees. The rates he offered were also the best I could find for my loan value. -Garrett

I would recommend Josh to anyone. -Krista

Josh and his team at First Choice lending really did a great job in preparing us … We had our eye on a short sale for a while and we got paired up with Josh on Zillow for our financing. Our realtor had warned us that a short sale could be time consuming. Josh and his team at First Choice lending really did a great job in preparing us for closing in a timely fashion. We would recommend First Choice to anyone looking to buy a home. -Thomas

We couldn’t be happier, just closed on our home yesterday and Josh exceeded our expectations. I had talked to several companies through the Zillow mortgage marketplace and after a few days of shopping we decided to give Josh a shot at our loan. We couldn’t be happier, just closed on our home yesterday and Josh exceeded our expectations. Our closing costs were less than his initial estimates and so we did not have to bring any money to closing we actually got the money back for the appraisal we paid for.. Josh and his whole team did a great job and would recommend his services. -Frank
